“It was a family-sized pool located at a private family dwelling, and the child was a resident of the house.”

“I believe at least one adult was present,” he said. “I don’t know the relationship to the child.”

EMS said the toddler was rushed to the Peter Lougheed Centre in Calgary in critical condition.

RCMP said he was later taken to the Alberta Children’s Hospital where he remains in critical, life-threatening condition.
